When you remove a person from your Skype contact list, his link to you on Skype is severed and he's treated as a stranger. The settings you choose on Skype determine who can send you video calls, text messages and audio calls. You can either adjust your settings or block the contact to prevent him from contacting you on Skype again.

Changing Skype Settings

To change who can send you video calls on Skype, hover your mouse over the bottom right corner of the screen to open the Charms bar. Click "Settings," then click "Options." Choose whether you want everyone or only your contacts to be able to contact you via text and video from the drop-down menus under the Privacy heading. To block a contact on Skype, type in his name in the people search and find his contact card. Click the contact to open a conversation, and then click the bottom right corner. Click "Block" and then click "Block" again.
